Conversation

I just started learning about programming languages, and I found out that some are more codable than others.

That's interesting! What do you mean by codable?

Well, it means they are easier to write and understand for programmers.

Got it! I guess that's why beginners often choose languages like Python.

Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Codable → It is formed from "code" (from Latin *codex*, meaning a book or manuscript) and "-able" (meaning capable of). The word "codable" refers to something that is capable of being coded or written in code.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'code' as a set of instructions or symbols, and '-able' means capable of. So, something that is codable is capable of being turned into a code.
